Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ruled at negotiations with the administration of US President Donald Trump, going toe-to-toe with him in a series of social media posts.

“Even if we ever – impossible as it is – negotiated with the US, it would never ever be with the current US administration,” Khamenei said on Monday.

Khamenei, who has the final say in Iran’s most important political decisions, said that as demonstrated in the 2015 nuclear deal, his country will only enter into negotiations in the position of strength “so that US’ pressures and uproars won’t affect us”.

“Recently, US officials have been talking blatantly about us. Beside sanctions, they are talking about war and negotiations.”
